WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/2/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Two games on today's slate, including an afternoon meeting between the Sky and Aces. That'll be followed by the Dream facing the Lynx in a game that could go very poorly for Atlanta if the team's recent play is any indication.

In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/2/19. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

WNBA - DFS Guards

Courtney Vandersloot (G, Chicago Sky) – @ Las Vegas Aces (DK: $9,700, FD: $7,900)

Vandersloot's in a slump with her shot making, shooting under 30 percent from the field in three consecutive games. But she's still a significant part of the team's offense, especially as a passer. Vandersloot's has at least six assists in every game this season; no other player in the league even averages six assists. And while she failed to record a rebound in her last game, she had back-to-back six rebound games before that. The only thing that worries me is the shooting, but some things have to correct themselves at some point.

Jackie Young (G, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Chicago Sky (DK: $6,600, FD: $6,100)

Young's put up strong fantasy performances in three of her last four games as the rookie has really started to come into her own. She's not a prolific scorer yet, but she's made up for it by suddenly making a run at Vandersloot's assist numbers, with at least eight assists in each of those three aforementioned outings. She's also a good rebounding guard and faces a Sky team that's allowing the second-most points per game, giving Young a shot to score in double figures for the first time since June 9th, when she faced the only team allowing more points, the New York Liberty.

Note: Atlanta's Alex Bentley has been in Europe for EuroBasket, but there are reports that she'll be back today. Her pricing on DraftKings is at the minimum $3,000, and playing her could allow you to play all the big stars. The problem? The report says she's rejoining the team in Minneapolis, but doesn't indicate if she'll play, so there's a lot of risk here if you play her and then she winds up not suiting up.

WNBA - DFS Forwards

Napheesa Collier (F, Minnesota Lynx) – vs Atlanta Dream (DK: $7,700, FD: $6,600)

The Dream have just been a disaster lately, and after losing to the New York Liberty on Sunday, we saw their one strength -- their interior defense -- just kind of evaporate. They're now allowing the third-most points per game in the league, and a player who can score inside and from farther out would have a good shot to rack up points against them on Tuesday. Hi, Napheesa Collier!

The rookie had a strong start to the year, then a little bit of a slump, and is now back, posting double figure scoring in three straight games, including 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals against the Wings Sunday. Like in that game, fellow forward Damiris Dantas is out, which means Collier will be expected to play a large role for the Lynx. This is setting up to be a strong one from her.

Dearica Hamby (F, Las Vegas Aces) – vs Chicago Sky (DK: $7,000, FD: $5,800)

Chicago gives up more points in the paint than any other team. The Aces have had a dominant three big rotation of A'ja Wilson, Liz Cambage, and Dearica Hamby, so my advice is to get one of those players in your lineup. I'm going to talk about Hamby since she's cheaper, but if you have room for one of the higher priced options, consider them as well.

Hamby hasn't seen a huge amount of drop off since Cambage has worked her way back into the lineup, and she's scored in double figures in three of the past four games. She's been an incredible rebounder over that stretch and her ability to post very efficient double-doubles will come in handy against a Sky team that's showed weakness up front.
